Terms and Conditions

For the EPA Division to act further on a public littering report the following terms and conditions apply:

Willingness to sign an affidavit that the declaration is true and correct

It is a condition of submitting a public littering report to the EPA Division that you are willing to sign an affidavit. An affidavit would be required for example if the Infringement Notice was not paid and the matter proceeded to court or on further investigation by the Litter Officer prior to an Infringement Notice being issued to the alleged offender.

An affidavit is a written statement of evidence similar to a statutory declaration but where the witness has sworn or affirmed the statement to be true in the presence of an authorised witness. It may be used as a substitute for oral evidence in court.

The purpose of administering an oath or affirmation is to emphasise the seriousness of the requirement that evidence given will be the truth. Providing false or misleading information is an offence.

An affidavit should be recorded on the appropriate form and include

your full name, address and occupation

full details of your evidence i.e. submitted littering report and other supporting evidence that has been provided.
